The Geelong Animal Welfare Society commenced operations on 17th April, 1956 following a meeting called by Mrs V Cole and the Late Mrs Elsa Williams. A group of concerned animal lovers in Geelong saw a great need to improve the welfare of lost and unwanted animals in the region. We have first class boarding facilities for dogs and cats. The revenue raised from our boarding section is used to maintain our animal welfare services. We conduct a 24 hour, 7 days a week ambulance service for lost and injured dogs and cats. We prevent cruelty to any living creature, and encourage kindness to animals and we rescue animals from the perils of the streets.
